duckrow: I couldn't tell you. I've seen a fair number of .pets created for Puppy 4.3 that wouldn't install in earlier versions of Puppy. I don't know whether that means the programs inside the .pets would fail to run on earlier Puppies as well, though.

You could download Wolf Pup's pets and see if they install, though most of those pets didn't seem to want to start the install process for me when I was using Puppy 4.2.1._________________[ Puppy 4.3.1 JP, Frugal install | 1GB RAM | 1.3GB swap ] * [ Puppy Precise 5.7.1 JP, Frugal install ]

First of all, greetings to the community from a new member: this is my first post here.

I just tried to download the 3.6 .pet using the link in the first post, but the link doesn't work: I get always the "404 Not Found" error.
Is it a temporary trouble?

Thanks

EDIT
I found this web page and downloaded and installed firefox-3.6.9.pet
Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I am not able to start it neither from Menu > Internet > Firefox nor clicking on the "browse" desktop icon.
Using the terminal I get:

For some reason, the server directory containing all of Wolf Pup's pets, including those on the first post of this topic, appears to have been removed.

Yeah, you need to have dbus installed... some Firefox/Seamonkey pets you'll find don't install it for you. You might try using the search at http://wellminded.com/puppy/pupsearch.html to search the forum for one of the dbus .pets posted ("dbus" and "libdbus" would probably be good starting searches). I would have run a search, myself, but I'm about to go run some errands. _________________[ Puppy 4.3.1 JP, Frugal install | 1GB RAM | 1.3GB swap ] * [ Puppy Precise 5.7.1 JP, Frugal install ]

The same Firefox 3.6 pet that Wolf Pup posted in the first post can be downloaded from:
http://puppy-development.googlecode.com/files/firefox-3.6.pet
It does replace the default browser on the desktop and works great in WARY 0.98

I had Firefox working fine in 5.1.1. Now all of a sudden when I open it up it has no window frame that allows me to minimize, maximize, or close the window, and is always on top. So I can't do anything besides use the current window of Firefox when I am running it!

Are you sure it's not maximized larger than the actual screen, then? You can try holding down Alt, clicking on the window and dragging it around until you see the titlebar, in that case.

If you have any other program windows open, you can try using Alt-Tab to switch to them, if I remember correctly. From there, you might be able to kill/close the Firefox window._________________[ Puppy 4.3.1 JP, Frugal install | 1GB RAM | 1.3GB swap ] * [ Puppy Precise 5.7.1 JP, Frugal install ]

Alt does allow me to move the window around. There is no frame around the window with the title of the page or "Firefox," with symbols for minimize, maximize, or close - that's all missing - nor is there the colored frame around the sides or bottom. Now that I am able to click on other windows that are revealed by moving Firefox around, it still stays on top. Alt-tab doesn't change it from being on top either.

I still suspect it may be an issue with full-screen/kiosk mode - there are ways to set it to that mode, and disable things like the close/maximize/minimize buttons, as well as access to the options and view settings (for those public places where you don't want anyone who might be using the system to exit from the browser, for example). Does the URL bar/navigation bar appear at the top of the screen and automatically hide itself? Is the status bar not present?

Have you installed any extensions which might have anything to do with the way Firefox's window is displayed?

Are you using one of the Firefox 4 builds? There's supposed to be elements in it that make it more like Chrome, but I don't think I've heard how to change them to make FF... well, more like Firefox, again._________________[ Puppy 4.3.1 JP, Frugal install | 1GB RAM | 1.3GB swap ] * [ Puppy Precise 5.7.1 JP, Frugal install ]
